$4,000 Saved,

A firm largely engaged in the
hardware and farm implement trade
estimates that competing railroad
would save it at least 5000 annually
and that the dealers in their lines OF
merchandise in Hopkinsvlle would
save $4,000 every year If another
railroad connection with the east
were established. The saving in this
department of Hopkinsville trade
would pay Off the whole subscription
asked for by the Ohio Valley Rail-
road in ten years, at the present rate
of consumption. This is an item OF
economy which directly concerns the
pockets of every man who builds @
house, or buys wagon, mower, reap
er, steam separator, pump, windmill
or set of tools. The farmers of Hop.
kinsville District are Immediately af
fected by the extra freight charges
which they are now paying on every
spade, trace-chain and pillow which
they purchase, for II is plain propo
sition that the freight charges are
added to the hardware which they
use, and that they finally foot The
bill. 1t needs no argument TO prove
this we'll known fact. Every dollar
which is taken off the cost Of farmer
purchases is dollar added to his in
come. A penny saved is a penny
earned. To secure this economy
